Research led by scientists at Washington State University has revealed insights on how plants form a microscopic landscape of proteins crucial to photosynthesis, the basis of Earth's food and energy ...

Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...

A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an ...

Mitochondria were found to draw oxygen from chloroplasts, modifying photosynthesis and stress responses. When stressed, mitochondria can reduce ...

A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an interaction not previously ...

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is one of the major legume crops in the world, providing an abundant source of oil and protein-rich food for human and animal consumption (Le et al., 2012). The high demand ...

Animals that resemble plants are not uncommon in the wild. Many creatures use this mimicry for camouflage purposes. One sea slug, however, doesn’t just look like a plant, it actually functions like ...

Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO 2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year. For these cell organelles to work properly, they require certain minerals—particularly ions of the metals ...

Powdery mildew (Oidium heveae Steinm.) is one of the most important leaf diseases in rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). However, physiological and molecular processes associated with the Hevea-powdery ...

Elysia chlorotica is a rare sea slug that blurs the line between plant and animal. By stealing chloroplasts from algae, it can photosynthesise and survive for months without eating. Found along the US ...

The start-up Function will send practically anyone to a lab for extensive medical testing, no physical required. Is that a good thing? By Kristen V. Brown As Kimberly Crisp approached middle age, ...

Plants rely on careful coordination inside every cell to survive, grow, and respond to changing surroundings. Inside plant cells, different genetic systems guide essential tasks such as photosynthesis ...
